My experience as a student of Vijaygarh Jyotish Ray College

I had chosen this course because I liked this subject. The curriculum is quite backdated. So it doesn't really prepare the students for real-world applications. They don't even know what they are doing in their practicals, as being a practical-based subject the pressure should be put on practicals more than the theory portions. Students have to upgrade themselves by coming out of their closets and learning things out of their own interests and curiosities. Pressure should be put more on the practical part than the theory or else put equal pressure on both.

We paid around 19k during admission. Then each year we pay around 3k. Additional fees are also paid. Overall sums up to around 48k. Government scholarships can also be availed by the students based on their merit but the college independently does not offer any scholarships.

Annual fests and sports events are held around August or September and around March or April(Fest sometimes not held). The range is very limited of books and journals but the accessibility is okay. Projectors and white boards are there in many classrooms. No AC though. No extracurricular activities offered on campus. Student-run politics on political agendas are only run here.

I liked the lab in this college that's why I chose this. Compared to other colleges this college had nice labs, had a good name, have had heard the faculty was nice hence chose this. In other colleges either the distance was a problem or the timing of the shifts. They post admission lists on the college official website. If you take admission based on your list you have to pay around 19k at first. If you wish to change your mind later, the college returns your money. I applied to Lady Brabourne College, Scottish Church College, Presidency University, Asutosh College out of many other colleges. I chose my college because of the lab and highly qualified faculty. Apart from that when the merit list was out in some of these colleges, I had already taken admission in my college. I didn't get any rejection. The issues were related to distance, lab, faculty or time of merit list. You are eligible based on your 10+2 results. All board exams are accepted. Cutoff 70%. Overall moderate experience

There are a total of 6 semesters(it has changed now, we were the last batch of this syllabus), apart from that class tests are also conducted. The semester exams are quite difficult(honestly a better word would be 'logical'). The exams maintain their standard as they are conducted by the University of Calcutta. Every semester a lot of pupils fail to clear the exams so better brace yourself properly if u wish to take admission in CU. The course curriculum is slightly backdated, at least regarding my subject, compared to how far science has advanced in the modern world.
